Chapter 338: Library

The suspended sword ball was instantly sacrificed, like a celestial siren suddenly unfolding, a long streak of silk across the sky, and it passed through the throat of the fire thunder beast, and with one sword, it cut off the head of the monster.

It turned out that Zhang Zhixuan had already seen the weakness in the monster's scales in the previous fight. He deliberately used the sword ball to attack the monster's most powerful scales twice, and penetrated its hard armor.

This time, seeing Zhang Zhixuan release the sword ball, the fire thunder beast was ready to use the scales to block it, but the sword ball flashed, and at the moment when the fire thunder beast lost consciousness, it cut on its weakness.

After killing the fourth-level monster, Qing Chan immediately took out the soul-guiding flag and shook it gently, absorbing a stream of Yin Qi and refining the monster's spirit.

Zhang Zhixuan also immediately took action, dug open the monster's abdomen and took out the inner elixir. Li Jiuxiao and other foundation-building cultivators also took action, and began to peel and remove bones to collect monster materials.

After killing the fourth-stage late-stage fire thunder beast, Zhang Zhixuan stood beside the red fruit tree and carefully observed this spiritual object.

The red fruit tree grows on the spiritual stone in the deep mountains where no one has gone. The tree is hidden in the cracks of the stone. It is a rare treasure of heaven and earth, and it blooms and bears fruit only once every hundred years.

This spiritual fruit is warm and gentle, and the medicinal properties are mild. Even if a mortal takes one, he can live a hundred years and prolong his life. The three-foot-high trunk is all red. If a cultivator with fire and wood spiritual roots takes it, it can increase his mana by ten years.

However, any natural treasure cannot be enjoyed too much, and this kind of spiritual fruit cultivator cannot take too much. The effect is best when taking the first one. The second one can only increase mana for five years, and the effect of the third one is even better than nothing.

After three, even if you eat the red fruit as a meal, it will not be of much use.

Zhang Zhixuan took a closer look and found that the red fruit will be mature in two or three months. He first directed everyone to skin and bone the fire thunder beast, and then carefully searched for the relics in the cave.

There is a special library in the cave, and a vicious forbidden method is set at the door. Fortunately, there are many dangers along the way, and everyone is alert. In addition, there has been no one to manage it for hundreds of years, and the power of the forbidden method has weakened by half, and it was violently broken by Qingchan.

From the books in the cave, Zhang Zhixuan knew that the owner of the cave was Han Jinghong, a well-known casual cultivator in Danxia County. This person is a senior female cultivator, and her cultivation has reached the purple mansion. This senior cultivator has been missing for nearly three hundred years, and it is unexpected that he sat in this cave.

Han Jinghong has a good spiritual root. She got the opportunity of a senior cultivator in her childhood, and soon she succeeded in cultivation. She succeeded in building a foundation without taking the foundation pill. Unfortunately, the method she practiced was not suitable for her spiritual root, so she could not go further.

However, judging from the vicious restrictions she set outside the cave after she sat in it, this person did not want to unearth her hidden treasures, nor did she want to leave the inheritance to future generations.

Although Han Jinghong has collected many classics, there are only two kinds of cultivation methods. One is the Taiyuan Sutra, which is an ancient method that can only be cultivated to the Purple Mansion. This method has fewer restrictions and can be practiced by cultivators with five elements of spiritual roots.

The ancient method is slightly faster to practice, but the power of fighting is relatively weak, and there are not many magical spells attached to the method.

However, reading this kind of ancient method, you can understand the thinking of the ancient cultivators when they began to create the method in ancient times.

Any method is created by the cultivator. There is no most powerful method, only the most suitable one for oneself. Every cultivator who creates a method beyond the method must create the most suitable one for his own practice, and the power of this method must be good.

The methods created by others are all for their own service. If a cultivator wants to practice the best method, he can only rely on his own body and spiritual roots to create it himself.

Unfortunately, at the beginning of cultivation, due to the lack of knowledge, the cultivator could not do this step.

Although the power of the Golden Sun Thunder Fire Diagram that Zhang Zhixuan practiced was quite good, it could only be practiced to the Golden Core Stage. If he wanted to continue practicing after forming the core, he could only create a technique to practice.

For cultivators, frequent changes in techniques would have great hidden dangers. Each technique has different acupoints to practice. The more frequently you change techniques, the more chaotic the magic power will be, which is not good for future practice.

Zhang Zhixuan has already changed two techniques, and some hidden dangers have been left in his body. If he wants to resolve these hidden dangers, he can only practice the technique that suits him best.

So creating a technique that suits him is the path he must take.

Another technique is called Xuanhuo Baolu, which is also a technique that can be practiced to the Purple Mansion Stage, and is most suitable for cultivators with fire spiritual roots. Han Jinghong is a cultivator with wood and earth spiritual roots. The first technique she got was Xuanhuo Baolu. Unfortunately, because the technique did not match her spiritual roots, her progress in practice was not fast. It was not until she changed to the Taiyuan Sutra that she could practice to the Purple Mansion.

Unfortunately, Taiyuan Sutra is not good at fighting. Although Han Jinghong has the talent of a formation master, he specializes in formation after entering the Purple Mansion and becomes a fourth-level upper-grade formation master. Unfortunately, at this time, her life span is coming to an end, and she can only sit in the cave unwillingly.

She is a cultivator of earth and wood spiritual roots. Before sitting, her cultivation level has reached the ninth level of the Purple Mansion. If the Zhuguo tree had matured hundreds of years earlier, relying on the power of Zhuguo, her cultivation level may be further improved. Unfortunately, she was unlucky and found that the Zhuguo tree she had taken care of for many years did not wait until it matured. The ripe Zhuguo could only benefit the monsters she tamed.

Among these classics, in addition to the two exercises, the most valuable one is the Jinghong Secret Book written by Han Jinghong himself.

This book records every bit of Han Jinghong's learning of formations after the Purple Mansion. It is very helpful for cultivators who want to learn formations. This secret book can also make up for the weak gap in the inheritance of Zhang's formations, which is also of great help to the Qingxuan Sect.

In addition, there is a beast taming manual in Han Jinghong's cave. According to this manual, thirteen kinds of Southern Wilderness monsters can be tamed.

However, it is very troublesome to tame a monster, which often takes place when the monster is just born and has not opened its eyes. Moreover, it often takes a long time and more effort to train a monster to a high level.

The fire thunder beast in Han Jinghong's cave was a monster she had tamed since her Qi training period. It was only when she sat down that the fire thunder beast had just broken through to the fourth level.

Relying on the red fruits that matured twice in the cave and three hundred years of accumulation, this monster beast broke through to the late fourth level.

Although monsters have a long lifespan, their cultivation speed is far slower than that of monks. In the later stages, even if a lot of resources are spent on training, tamed monsters often cannot keep up with their masters.

Unless you can catch some rare monsters with unique talents, or have the secret skills inherited from the Yanhuo State Beast Control Sect, refine the spirit beast flags, and use the spirit beast flags to control more monsters, you can't cultivate monsters. The resources consumed might as well be used to train disciples of the tribe.

After cleaning up the library, Zhang Zhixuan also asked all the secret scriptures of the exercises to be copied by the monks who followed him during the foundation building period.

Li Jiuxiao and others are all grateful for Zhang Zhixuan's generosity. Even if there is no other gain from this trip, they are all satisfied.

In Yuzhang City, a Zifu period skill is worth about 6,000 spirit stones. Even an ancient skill with a slightly lower price can still sell for 4,000 spirit stones. Including Han Jinghong's formation book, they gained at least the benefit of more than 10,000 spirit stones.

After taking inventory of Han Jinghong's books, Zhang Zhixuan immediately opened her practice room, but unfortunately there was nothing in the practice room.

Then Zhang Zhixuan took people to the bedroom and found a corpse left on the bed. Because Han Jinghong was a successful monk, even after three hundred years, the corpse was still lifelike.

Although her appearance is a bit old, Zhang Zhixuan has already seen that this female cultivator was bright and charming when she was young, which is probably rare among female cultivators.

Han Jinghong is different from Patriarch Liang. She is a truly single cultivator. She has never had a disciple in her life, and she has no family to protect her.

At the last moment of her death, she was alone until the end.

Zhang Zhixuan activated his magic power and used object control to retrieve Han Jinghong's storage bag, then released a real fire to melt her bones, packed the ashes into a porcelain altar, and prepared to bury her in the cave.
